Re: IML: Tar , sap, grease??

[Mark McDonald <tomswift@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Someone may have already said this, but in my opinion the best thing to 
remove that kind of thing is a carwash made by the makers of NuVinyl.  
It's called NuWash, I think, and it's orange based.  (There's a lot of 
orange oil in it.)  This has really worked for me and does not damage 
the paint.
